Your statement will offend a lot of people here....for those who work in singapore, what subsidies are they enjoying if they didnt step foot into malaysia again? The moment they step foot in, they are contributing to the economy of malaysia....if they drive, they are paying toll (and then, toll company pay tax), they eat at restaurants and PAY also, probably they can eat more than what you can afford and hence contribute more $$$$ back into the economy. They can come up and have a shopping spree and this also contribute more $$$ into the economy. You can blame that they drive the prices up lar....but what can you do to stop them??? As Malaysia need foreign tourists to boost up the economy and those who work in Singapore when come is a plus factors.

Why MBS and RWS got anything to do with him need to downgrade his PR?? U mean he went there and gamble and lost lots of money? So, he must leave singapore to stay away from the 2 casinos? First, you can apply ban on him to enter the casino. Therefore he cannot enter the casino and no need to gamble away with the $$$, but there is always singpool, bookies and casino ship around. Even if he gives up his PR, he return to Malaysia, but there is also a Casino on the top of the mountain which he can goes everyday. No need to pay levy.

I think the best way is to remain in Singapore and apply a ban to enter the casino, in Singapore, at least he still earning a decent SGD$$$ to pay off his debts. If leaving Singapore, can he make as much $$$ as he can make if he is in Singapore? Also, if in KL, he will still lure to visit the Shaolin Temple aka Genting Highland. Unless he goes to Sarawak/Sabah/Brunei where dont have casino.

Cheap??? Wait till u buy a "water car" that was soaked in Orchard......

aiyah...why so difficult??? Just renew your msia license. Later, if you like it, apply for a spore license as well, just sit for a theory test will do.

My friend, why you said it is stupid suggestion??? Why after renew the license it will get blacklisted??? Can you enlighten me as i am stupid on this.

I am currently holding both valid malaysia driving license and as well as another singapore driving license. Shall i check whether my malaysia driving has been blacklisted since you mentioned so???? Or do you have any license to start of????

If i told you i am holding 2 licenses, doesnt this tells you i have gone thru the conversion of Malaysia license or you cannot read my message or you think you are the only smart ah lek out there??? U just need to go to any JPJ office to obtain the JPJ letter and it only took me not more than 1 hour for it. then, in singapore, you register (my case at Bukit batok driving school) to take a driving theory test and if you pass, you are on your way to get your singapore license....isnt it simple? but actually not that simple as the test is is difficult....Or if you have went thru some hell process while getting your JPJ letter, please share us your side of story because i catch your meaning that it is difficult process.
Keeping a Malaysia driving is not expensive and that is only RM20/year (May not be just one meal at Food Republic) and if you decided to stop work in Singapore and you return to Malaysia, wouldnt it be handy as you still have your malaysia driving license or you mean you want to maintain a singapore driving license to drive in Malaysia? Could be you already a citizen and never think of others who may return to work one day? Please enlighten me. Thanks

Holding 2 license doesnt mean you got money or not. Many of my friends also holding 2 licenses, perhaps they also got money...

You just need to go any JPJ office to get a letter. JPJ needs to find out whether you have any outstanding summons not paid or not. If got, you need to clear the summons before they give you the letter. Like my case, i got one summon when i went to JPJ that time, i went to the counter and paid the summon (forgotten they gave me any discount or not). Then, return to their office and get the letter by showing them the receipt. If you got no summon, they will give you the letter straight away.

To cut our Malaysia license to two is bxxxsxxx lar. I still having my license and no one mention to cut my license. If you move back to Malaysia, if you have a valid malaysia driving license, the sky is clear. But i dont know if your license is expired for extended time, dont know whether there is any requirement for you to take a driving test all over again or not. Anybody know???

Of course i dont know since i am the stupid one....

I am still waiting for your side of story leh.... wondering whether you gonna share anything or ...........

May i know how old are you? Do you have any licenses?? Have you ever stopped by a malaysia police and you show them your singapore driving license??? Please clear our doubts. Thanks

who had said an official letter by jpj is bxxxsxxx???? I only said to cut the malaysia license to two is bxxxsxxx. You are reading and advising or you like to create problems?

Well, i will stop replying you. Let others to judge you.

If that is true, this is my ignorance on this matter as when i took the letter, i didnt think i see anything that mentioned i need to cut my driving license into 2 nor did any JPJ officer telling me so. However, i did renew my Malaysia driving license and is still valid till 2014. Now this have let me puzzling how come when i renew my malaysia license and i am allowed to do that since i am holding a singapore driving license. Is it due to i renew my license from the POS OFFICE?

Anyone brudders who have converted and have their driving license cut into 2?

Well, all the time when the police / jpj stopped me, they are asking the license together with IC. doesnt it?

Here is some article that i found online. However, this is not from official JPJ homepage.

Convert My Malaysia Driving License to Singapore Driving License

You must obtain your Malaysia driving license 6 months before you obtain EP/DEP/WP/PR/SVP. (Employment Pass/Dependant Pass/Work Permit/Permanent Resident Entry Permit/Social Visit Pass).
If not, you need to sit for Singapore Driving License. For Employment Pass and Work Permit Holder, please note that you don’t need to convert to Singapore License if you do not plan to stay in Singapore more than 1 year. Your Malaysian driving license is valid driving Singapore Vehicles for less than a year.

Before applying for a Singapore driving licence, you are required to pass the Basic Theory Test (BTT) at any of the driving centres. You must go down to the driving center to open an account before you are allow to take the Basic Theory Test.

After taking the Basic Theory Test, you will probably wait for one month to get your test result by SingPost orindianry mail. After you get your “PASS” test result slip, you should go to Malaysia JPJ to obtain an extract from Jabatan Pengangutan Jalan (JPJ). The nearest JPJ is at Johor bahru, Taman Daya.

JABATAN PENGANGKUTAN JALAN JOHOR.
TAMAN DAYA,KARUNG BERKUNCI 714
80990 JOHOR BAHRU

You will probably required to pay RM12 Taxi Fare to reach the place from JB Custom. You no need to surrender your Malaysian Driving while getting the extract letter. Although you may told by the officer that your Malaysia Driving License may not be able to renewed, there are many cases that the Malaysia Driving License still able to renew. Some of the peoples renew at Pos Office without any problems. It is advise that you renew your Malaysia Driving License unless you have no intention to go back to Malaysia forever.

After passing the Basic Theory Test,you must go personally to:
Comfort Driving Centre
205 Ubi Avenue 4
Singapore 408865

With the documents (both ORIGINAL AND PHOTOCOPIES) :
a) Passport (from 1st entry) and Entry Permit/EP/DEP/WP/SVP
b) A valid qualified foreign driving licence
c) An extract of driving licence record from the JPJ of first issue of the Malaysian driving licence.
d) A completed medical examination form (obtainable from Traffic Police Department or any of the test centres) for applicants age 65 and above, where applicable.
e) A recent colour passport size photograph with matt or semi-matt finish on white background.
f) A fee of $50.00 (By Nets / Cashcard).

Well, my friend, thanks for the article. From what i understand, there is no need to blacklist our license after getting the extract letter. I guess it is the stunt did by the Johor JPJ to extort $$$ from those who want the extract letter. Did you read the article i pasted up just now?

For info, i get my JPJ letter from JPJ Padang Jawa, Kelang. No such request of RM250 for not blacklisting my MY license. I also successfully renew my license for 5 years. Cheers

Havent tried before, but my guess is probably can, but probably got to pay cash advance fees and cash advance interest.

At the start, you shall learn to take bus/MRT/Taxi to go around. To maintain a car is expensive here, just the monthly HDB parking fee in a multi storey car park is $90 and the fuel around $2.00/liters and the parkings fees and the ERP(TOLL) charges and the car services/maintanance fees and if kena traffic summons....headahce....

It is not hard to mix around as there are lots of people like you in Singapore. You can hang out with those forumers here which they may have gatherings altough i have never joined them before. Also, can go join some activities at their community center if they accept you. Can dance aerobic with the uncle/aunties there, may be got taichi, wing chun. , also, can join the local people for some basketball/badminton/ping pong games. Also can hang out at the shopping malls for movies.
